Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ... top was twenty or thirty feet above the higher bank and fully sixty feet above the water. " Surely all those logs didn't come from hereabout!" he exclaimed. " And how in the world can their owners tell them apart and separate them after the rollway is broken?" " Them logs hev been comin' here all winter from all pints o' the compass," began Pete, with great relish. He was never so happy as when imparting information--or gossip--to an interested listener.
